ABSTRACT:
An engine including a piston yoke assembly reciprocating within a rotor assembly disposed for rotation within a fixed casing. The rotor assembly is of elliptical configuration to form a pair of exhaust chambers located between the assembly and the casing interior. The rotor assembly defines closed end combustion chambers and fuel-air chamber within which the yoke portion of the piston yoke assembly reciprocates to pressurize fuel-air charges for transfer to the combustion chambers. The piston yoke assembly comprises a part of the rotor assembly but moves about a fixed component carried by the engine casing resulting in reciprocal movement of the piston yoke assembly within the rotor assembly. Power is delivered to the rotor assembly by ignition of a fuel-air charge acting on a piston and yoke assembly off center from the fixed casing component. Exhaust ports within the rotor assembly provide for the ejection of exhaust gases asymmetrical to the rotor axis to impart torque to the rotor. Engine cooling is accomplished by the admission of ambient air to the pair of exhaust chambers and by heat transfer from engine pistons to a fuel-air mixture. In a second described form of the engine the rotor assembly is provided with blades which move a cooling air flow axially through the fixed casing. The second engine form further includes ignition components located on the forward side of the rotor assembly. Combustion gases are exhausted from the casing interior by a barrier riding on the rotor periphery.
